Cute label features a seafaring dog after he raided the ship’s wild blueberry barrel, authentic save his pink (not purple) tongue! The color of the beer is golden with a slight bright white head. The nose is pure berry, aromatic and appealing. So is the beer, a delicious balance of malt and fruit. For a brunch of scones, a mushroom omelet, and fresh berries we poured Bluepaw. A fresh blueberry dropped in each glass floated to the top surrounded with effervescence. Blutiful!- Charles Finkel

A profound aroma of blueberries, though no blue color. Flavor and character of blueberry engages at first then rapidly diminishes. Not complex. Clean finish. Fruity, lively and sparkling refreshment. It is a bit mystifying. Why do I keep going back for another sip? Slightly addictive. Malt and hops are not what this well-made brew is about. You’ll only know whether it suits you if you check it out yourself. Worth the digression.- Charlie Papazian
